KEEPING GOOD STOCK.
Why It Does Not Pay to Raise Inferi
Grades of Animals.

Why It Does Not Pay to Raise Inferior
Grades of Animals.
For some time past there has been a
general complaint that times are hard,
money scarce, and, in consequence,
farmers profits small. To a certain
extent there is hardly any question but
that this is so. Some of the causes are
beyond our reach, we are not able to
control them; but others we are, if we
are willing to put forth the proper
effort.
Where mixed farming is followed,
and the greater portion of what is
raised upon the farm is fed to stock, so
that all the manure possible can be
made, saved and applied, in order to
realize the largest amount of profits
possible, it is necessary to secure the
largest gain at the smallest expense.
One of the first essentials necessary to
secure this is to have good stock. The
farmer who is obliged to work and
manage SO as to secure the largest pos
sible profits, can not afford to feed
what he raises upon the farm to any
thing else but good stock, because it is
only with good stock that he can Sc
cure the largest gain.
1t is true good stock costs a little
more than scrubs, but they make us
more money, and yon can make more
money with less number, and less
feed will be required. l think I am
safe in saying that many farmers raise
and feed stock that, leaving out the
expense of feeding and care, does not
pay the farmers profit. In fact, he
does not receive fair price for what
he has fed out. With ordinary care
the manure should be worth the
trouble of feeding and caring for the
animals. But too often the man who
will insist upon keeping the scrub
stock, will also fail to take the proper
means to make, save and apply all the
manure possible, so that to many the
failure to keep good stock really inn
plies two losses-a failure to secure
the largest gain from the feed, and
also the value of the manure.
To this may further be added the
care. The man who will fail in the
other two respects will nearly always
fail to give such care and attention in
feeding and sheltering that is necessa-
ry to secure the best results. The man
who keeps good stock realizes the fact
that the greatest gain can only be Sc
cured by good feed and good care.
Thus the keeping of the one implies
the other.
When the profits at best are small, it
OF course requires but a small amount
of neglect to take off all the profits.
We are feeding the grain and hay and
running the risk with no profit One
may be surer of profit with good stock
and good care, and not only profit,
but an increased one, than where only
scrubs are kept.-Farna, Field and
StocknaGn.

PRESERVE THE TREES,
Forest Culture the Best Means of Mai
tanning the Fertility of Soil

Forest culture the Best Means of Main
tanning the Fertility of Soil.
1t is fact to be regretted that the
science of forestry is so little under
stood by the masses of farmers through
out the United States, as it is one of
vast Importance to the general well
fare of the country at large. The
effects of forests upon the climate and
productiveness of the soil are almost
incalculable, though. strange to say, it
has taken the world ages to learn them.
A certain proportion of woodland is
necessary. particularly in plain or gen.
tly rolling country, to preserve the de-
sired evenness of temperature, to pro-
tect the growing crops from damage
by wind and to regulate the amount
and the effects of rainfall.
No more striking example of the eff
tects of forests upon the soil and
climate can be found than in that
westernmost knob of Asia known as
Asia Minor and the Grecian peninsula.
Once these plains and valleys were the
garden spot of the world. The most
magnificent cities and the richest and
most powerful nations, were gathered
here and it was the center of the
worlds civilization. Its glory is de-
parted, and instead of the rich plains
and fertile valleys of the time when
Athens and Ephesus were in
their glory, we find naught but
storm-swept heights and barren
hollows, producing barely enough
to keep alive sparse population.
This vast change is due entirely to the
fact that the land was gradually
stripped of it's forests and left to the
mercy of the wind, the rain and the
broiling sun.
The great forests of Western Europe
were preserved by happy chance.
Hunting was the aristocratic amuse-
ment of all the nomadic tribes who
peopled these lands. and as they set
tied down into civilization every land
owner, from the monarchs down, re-
served as much woodland as he could
afford for game preserve. And thus,
without intending so to do, they con-
ferred great benefit upon the
land. But in America we have no
game preserves, and thus far there has
been no effort to check the rapid
destruction of our forests. As a re-
suit of this destruction we have been
cursed of late with floods, billiards.
and other disasters, while the soil in
many States is fast losing its fertility.
We are beginning to understand the
value of trees to some extent and the
general observance of one day set
aside for planting trees is hopeful
sign. But it will be noticed that the
public school children are about the
only ones who observe the day, and
they do not accomplish much. Every
farmer should realize the Importance
of the matter, and take the time to
plant tree whenever he has room for
one.-Springtfeld TO- Times.

FILTH IN JAIL.
Sanitary Condition of a Large Number
Reformatory Institutions.

Sanitary Condition of a Large Number of
Reformatory Institutions.
As civilization advances, the treat
ment of the unfortunate and criminal
classes is said to become more humane.
and as Nation we love to boast of our
prison and asylum reforms; but now
and then humanity receives a rude
shock from revelations coming out of
these very signs of our advancement.
With one or two exceptions the prison
pens of war times, for whose condition
there was, at least, the partial ex-
cuse of necessity and the bitter
ness engendered by the strife-we
say with one or two exceptions, these
places are to-day surpassed by prisons
in both the South and the North, while
city jails and warehouses are notori-
ously bad and often criminally man.
aged The plumbing inspector of Min
neapolis recently made an inspection
of the county Jail, wherein he found
reeking abomination of filth, for the
long continued existence of which no
excuse can be offered, for the officials
have been notified more than once of
its bad sanitary condition. Filth alone,
it is well known, will breed crime, and
it certainly is fit environment for
other extre mely bad and easily avoided
conditions which maintain in almost
all jails, viz, the eommingling of the
hardened criminal and the novice in
the milder forms of law-breaking; but
it is the sanitary condition of these
places to which our readers attention
is called. In the Minneapolis Jail Mr..
Hazen found veritable cess-pool in
the basement, caused by the wash
water running from the Jail apartments
above. The plumber had used the con-
venient and inexpensive putty to make
his joints. material quite largely in
use in this, as. no doubt, in many an
other city, and the old and cheapest
forms of closets, poorly set. had also
been used, and they were sadly out of
joint An enlightened public sentiment
will correct these abuses, but the
correction is always specific. One job
at time, and that after infinite harm
has been done, seems to be all that the
public can handle. The ounce of pre-
yention has never been weighed by this
public, and it still seems pound to
the men whom we all love to honor
with our franchises. To employ an
architect to build Jail would be the
heighth of folly and the acme of extrav-
aeance, but soon the voice of the arch
itect will be heard, not crying out
against old abuses, but as a warning to
avoid all such calamities, and the soon
er that voice is heard the better

WHY CELERY NEEDS SALT.
Twelve Reasons by the Representative
Young Women of America.

Twelve Reasons by the Representative
Young Women of America.
1t was class of young ladies from
various of our principal cities, ETC., in
prominent seminary that might or
ton was in writing. The question was,
why does the vegetable celery require
so much more salt when it is eaten
than any other garden product?' And
here are the answers:
l. Miss Cultura Bostoniensis-"Be-
cause the atoms which enter into the
composition of this representative of
the genus apium gravolens have re-
pellant effect on any particles of saline
matter that may occupy contiguous
proximity, and their non-compatibility
produces deprivation that can only
be supplied by a subsequent manipula-
ton in recepticale salis.''
g. Miss Patrissima Philadelphia
Because the ancestral plant did not
have salt enough to transmit the flavor
to the younger members of the
family"
8. Miss Putonairs Washing BE

saint from the vulgar herd of particles

4 Miss Interesta New Workable
cause the salt was squeezed out before
it got in. like a Broadway dividend. y
5. Mile. La File de st. Louis-''be-
cause whatever salt it had went some
where else"
6. Miss Frigidus Montreal-'1t does
not; frozen turnips take more"

cause it's eaten before it's grown"

Vaccination Rules.

The merits of vaccination have been
considered since 1888 by a German
commisson-three members of which
were Observation-Disclosures these
are among the conclusions which have
at length been announced: The period
during which vaccination protects
against smallpox varies greatly, but
as rule all persons should be vac
cinated every ten years; two we'll
marked vesicles are necessary to insure
successful protection; animal vaccine is
preferable; no special disease or in
creasing death rate can be traced to
the practice of vaccinations; the opera
ton should not be performed during
epidemics of scarlet fever, measles,
diphtheria, whooping, cough, typhus or
erysipelas; infants should not be vac
cinated until three months old; and
the greatest care in cleaning and disin-
fecting instruments should be observed.

DENYING EARTHQUAKES.

Methods of Constructing Houses Capable
of Resisting Heavy Upheavals.
A curious paper was read by Prof.
Milne at meeting of the Seismological
Society of Toxic, reporting results OBJ
tanned from a seismic survey of the
ground in the immediate neighborhood
of his house, with the view to discover,
if possible, the best method of con-
structing houses or buildings capable
of resisting earthquakes, so as to sus-
tain the least damage in themselves.
Three different ways appear to have
been suggested, by which it was
thought probable that the buildings
would escape the effects of the motion
produced by the earthquake wave. The
first was to make q careful seismic sur
vey of the ground, and after that, to
select a spot where there would be
relatively but little motion-though
how this desirable result was to be OBJ
tanned we are not informed. The sec
ond plan was to build in deep
pit, the walls not touching the
sides of the pit; but by what
means this was to save the
house, it is difficult to see, as, if an
earth-wave passed over the place, the
pit itself as well as the house would
necessarily be effected. A third method
is still proposed, and that is, where the
ground is soft, light, one-storied
house should be constructed of either
wood or iron, which should be rested
on layer of cast-iron shot-an idea,
possibly, to allow the house to move
over the shot from right to left or back
ward and forward, and so escape being
ovcrthrown. But still, very heavy
wave would upheave, not the house
and it's foundation only, but the whole
space of the earth round about it; and
if that was so, the house, shot, pit,
and all, must surely be overthrown in
heap together. The theory, how
ever, is both curious and interesting,
and may be well worth the examina-
ton and consideration of the scientific
world, in spite of the difficulties and
doubts which appear to surround the
question. - Chambers Journal.

STYLES IN JEWELRY.

Novelties in Finger-Rings, Scarf-Pfns and
Plain and Bangle Bracelets.
Hematite balls in pins and ear
rings are secured by slender claw
settings, which appear to grasp them
like the talons of bird.
The latest form of the snake ring is
adjustable to any finger. No solder is
used; and the coils can, therefore, be
easily enlarged by pressure.
A double moon-face in profile, the
outer one of gold and the inner one
like shadow of the first, of platina,
was noticed among new line of scarf
pins.
The ieweled fly which last fall occa-
sionally alighted on the popular flower
pin seems to have taken a fancy to his
surroundings and made it permanent
resting place.
Silver bonbon boxes in what is
termed the s.sandblast'' finish, i. e.,
mating of fine sand, set with small
round garnets in diamond shaped pat
terms, were recently observed.
A snake curled up in spray of
flowers. in matted finish and orna-
mented with sprinkling of gems, is a
novel brooch, in which there turks a
moral.
In onyx earrings one of the most
popular patterns is the faceted ball
with three narrow pearl-set leaves
everything it, like the outgrown envel-
ope of bud, and fourth extending
upward to form the front of the ear
ring.
One of the prettiest onyx bracelets
now made consists ofplain rectangular
links alternating with pairs of beads.
Both beads and links are pierced and
strung on two small plant chains,
which give great fiexibility to the
bracelet.
A very attractive line of plain wire
bangle bracelets with hand-chased or
naments in the form of interlocking
hooks, knots, loops and rings was re-
Gently seen. They are made in both
polished and Roman finish, and sim
gle diamond set in the center of the
design enhances the beauty of this
simple and inexpensive bracelet. -
